Overview: HCR 2018, "salary; legislators", is a House concurrent resolution currently in the House Second Reading stage. It was introduced on February 24, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of HCR 2018 is to adjust the salaries of state legislators. The resolution seeks to address concerns about the adequacy of legislative compensation and its impact on the ability to attract qualified individuals to serve in the state legislature.
Key Provisions:
- Increases the annual salary for state legislators from the current level to a new, higher amount
- Ties future salary adjustments to changes in the state's median household income or a similar economic indicator
Affected Parties and Impacts: The primary affected parties are current and future state legislators, who would see their compensation increase if the resolution is adopted. Taxpayers may also be impacted through the increased budgetary costs associated with higher legislative salaries.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: HCR 2018 is currently in the House Second Reading stage, meaning it has passed initial committee review and is now being considered by the full House. If approved by the House, the resolution would then move to the Senate for further consideration. The timeline for final passage and implementation of the new legislative salaries is unclear at this stage.
